Overview
- The ADAC said Monday it will not implement the membership increase on January 1, 2027 because the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern has not issued a required binding tax ruling.
- The club confirmed the scale of the rise: individual tariffs will climb by about €10 to €35 per year and the premium family tariff will increase by €55 from €239 to €294.
- ADAC expects to apply the new rates within the first half of 2027 and will give members at least three months’ written notice before charging the higher fees.
- Planned service additions, including a 24/7 legal advice line for traffic accidents, will start in January 2027 even though the fee increase is delayed.
- The delay will lower ADAC’s expected 2027 income and comes after a fraught period for the club that included the February resignation of traffic president Gerhard Hillebrand and about 60,000 membership departures.
